203D7D32DF421D23FF68FC3D2FFB1A51.taxon	discussion	Remarks. Within the subgeneric concepts in the genus Habroloma (Habroloma, Parahabroloma Kurosawa, 1959, and Malobroha Cobos, 1979), the two mistletoe-associated species described below are tentatively assigned to Parahabroloma, which is characterized by the following combination of character states: 1) more or less deplanate body; 2) distinctly concave frons; 3) ridged oculofrontal margins of eyes; and 4) more or less depressed apicolateral part of pronotal disk, sometimes with a small pore at the middle of the depression (Kuorsawa, 1959). However, the two species discussed here have some different character states from typical Parahabroloma species in the antennal scape, clypeus, and / or elytral punctation, and moreover their larval habits are peculiar. This study will discuss the taxonomic implication of these morphological and biological characters in the Discussion section.	en	Tamadera, Yutaka (2025): New or little-known jewel beetles on mistletoe, Taxillus Tiegh.

Differential diagnoses. Habroloma tsutsumiuchii is similar to Habroloma baucis (Obenberger, 1929), described from Thailand, in having the similar shaped projection of the male antennal scape (female of the latter species is unknown), the number and arrangement of the pronotal and elytral tufts, the bilobed apical margin of the prosternal lobe, the elytral punctures becoming smaller in the apical half of elytra, and the large-sized body. However, H. tsutsumiuchii is readily distinguished from H. baucis by the following combination of characters: 1) elytral inverted subtriangular blotch of setae much larger (H. baucis: much smaller and strongly oblique in shape); 2) elytral first tuft (postscutellar tuft) rather larger than the second tuft (humeral tuft) (H. baucis: the first tuft smaller than the second); 3) elytral first, second, and fifth tufts bicolored into orangish-brown and black (H. baucis: those tufts being completely black); 4) bronzy-black dorsum (H. baucis: dark purplish bronze dorsum with apical part of elytra becoming more purplish). Habroloma tsutsumiuchii is easily distinguished from other Japanese congeners by the modified antennal scape (longer in male than in female), by the presence of a single pronotal tuft and five pairs of elytral tufts, by the bilobed prosternal lobe, and by the apical excavation of the hyomeron.	en	Tamadera, Yutaka (2025): New or little-known jewel beetles on mistletoe, Taxillus Tiegh.

203D7D32DF421D2CFF68FA6D28271E21.taxon	biology_ecology	Biology. Host plant. Loranthaceae: Taxillus yadoriki. Adults feed on the leaves from the lateral margins (Figs. 6 J, 13 A) and tend to stay on the abaxial side of the leaf when feeding (Figs. 6 K, 7 A). The adults were collected on Taxillus yadoriki parasitizing Castanopsis sieboldii subsp. sieboldii, Lithocarpus edulis, Quercus acutissima, and Q. glauca, and Neolitsea aciculata. Leaf-mining habit. Mines of H. tsutsumiuchii were found on T. yadoriki parasitizing L. edulis and Q. acutissima by the author (in Nara; Figs. 6, 13 A, B). Infested leaves were well expanded; multiple mines were found on a single leaf (n = 5); mines were of the full-depth type and each formed an elongate blotch occurring in apical half of the leaf blade, but they were almost invisible from the abaxial side of the leaves because the abaxial leaf surface of T. yadoriki was always covered with dense brownish trichomes. When full grown, multiple mines in a single leaf look like a single large blotch. Two to five eggs, which were black (remaining eggshell + varnish-like substances) and covered with granulate substances which may be adult feces, were laid on near the adaxial surface of the leaf blade near the apex (Fig. 6 A), except for one example in which only one egg was found on a small leaf. The eggs were laid slightly separated from each other. Each hatched larva mined toward the leaf base, and finally the last (third) instar larva always made a delta-like portion at the terminal part of the mine (Fig. 6 B). The first and second instar larvae left granular frass inside the mine, and then the last instar made an oval pupal chamber inside the mine with its granular frass (Fig. 6 E – G). When full grown, the pupal chamber was completely closed. Adults always emerged from the abaxial surface of the leaves with slightly D-shaped exit holes (Figs. 6 C, 13 A). Habroloma tsutsumiuchii hibernates in the adult stage, as do other congeners in mainland Japan. On 17 February 2024, one female adult was found on the abaxial side of the living host leaf, of which the leaf-margin is weakly curled toward the abaxial side (Fig. 7 B). After five days, this female was still in the same position in the leaf (on 23 Feb 2024). Insofar as known, the hibernation under the living leaf is the first report of the hibernating site within Habroloma.	en	Tamadera, Yutaka (2025): New or little-known jewel beetles on mistletoe, Taxillus Tiegh.

203D7D32DF421D2CFF68FA6D28271E21.taxon	discussion	Remarks. The holotype of H. tsutsumiuchii is irregularly tinged with blue at parts of the pronotal and elytral bare portions (Figs. 2 A, 3 D), but this coloration was absent when the specimen was initially prepared. This discoloration is probably caused by oil that is seeping out from the body after drying the specimen. With regard to local variation, the specimens of this new species collected in Miyazaki (Kyushu) tend to show slightly brighter coloration of the dorsal setae and slightly weaker golden-bronze reflections on the pronotum and elytra than specimens collected at Nara (Honshu) (Figs. 2 A, B, 3 F – I). However, these differences are also observed within individuals from the same locality to some extent. Thus, this study concluded that these variations are not significant related to geographic range. The modified antennal scape of H. tsutsumiuchii is also recognizable in the pupal stage because the corresponding part of the pupal exuvium is distinctly projected (Fig. 6 H, I).	en	Tamadera, Yutaka (2025): New or little-known jewel beetles on mistletoe, Taxillus Tiegh.

Differential diagnoses. Habroloma taxillusi is readily distinguished from other congeners by the following combination of characters: 1) clypeus prominently narrowed, about 3.5 times as long as wide, with round apical margin; 2) elytral punctures round, which are not associated with setae; and 3) female abdominal ventrite 5 with apical comb (absent in male). In Japan, H. taxillusi is somewhat similar in general appearance to Habroloma (Parahabroloma) nixilla insulicola Kurosawa, 1959, and their distribution ranges overlap at Amami-Ôshima Island in the Ryukyus, Japan. However, H. taxillusi is distinguished from H. nixilla insulicola by the diagnostic character states mentioned above and by the following two points: trapezoidal plate wider, about 1.4 times as wide as long; and host association with T. yadoriki (H. nixilla insulicola: Lagerstroemia subcostata Koehne var. subcostata [Lythraceae]).

203D7D32DF4D1D34FF68FE7D2E071BC1.taxon	biology_ecology	Biology. Host plant. Loranthaceae: Taxillus yadoriki. Adults are leaf surface feeders; that is, they feed on the leaves from the adaxial surface. Characteristic feeding scars are left on the surface (Figs. 12 M, 13 D). The adults were collected on T. yadoriki parasitizing the following various trees: Cryptomeria japonica (L. f.) D. Don [Cupressaceae]; Cinnamomum camphora (L.) J. Presl [Lauraceae]; Castanopsis sieboldii subsp. sieboldii, C. sieboldii subsp. lutchuensis, Quercus glauca, and Q. phillyreoides; and Styrax japonicus. Leaf-mining habit. Mines of H. taxillusi were found on Taxillus yadoriki parasitizing Castanopsis sieboldii subsp. sieboldii, C. sieboldii subsp. lutchuensis, and Quercus glauca by the author (in Wakayama, Miyazaki, and Amami-Ôhsima Is.; Figs. 12, 13 C). Infested leaves were relatively young and sometimes still covered with trichomes on either side of the adaxial or abaxial surfaces (Fig. 12 C). Each mine was of the full-depth type and formed a linear-blotch occurring along the leaf-margin, but it is almost invisible from the abaxial side of the leaves because the abaxial leaf surface of T. yadoriki was always covered with dense brownish trichomes. When full-grown, the mine occupied less than 1 / 4 of whole the leaf blade. Eggs, which were ochreous (remaining eggshell + varnish-like substances) and covered with trichomes of the host leaf (Fig. 12 E), were laid singly on the adaxial surface of the leaf blade near the base (n = 20; Figs. 12 A, C, 13 C) or occasionally near the apex (n = 6; Fig. 12 F – I), with one exception in which the egg was laid singly on the middle along the leaf-margin (n = 1). Each hatched larva linearly mined along the leaf-margin in the periods of first to second instars, then the last (third) instar makes a blotch mine and finally a delta-like portion at the terminal part of the blotch mine (Fig. 12 B, F – I). The first and second instars left granular frass inside mines, and then the last instar made an oval pupal chamber inside the center of the blotch mine with its granular frass (Fig. 12 K, L). The frass pupal chamber was made simultaneously while feeding on the parenchymal tissue, thus some posterior segments of the larval abdomen was usually toward the center of the blotch mine (Fig. 12 J), and when full grown, the pupal chamber was completely closed. Adults always emerged from the abaxial surface of the leaves with oval exit holes (Fig. 12 D). See also Kato & Kawakita (2023 a). Hibernating individuals have never been found in H. taxillusi, but probably the adults hibernate in various gaps at least in mainland Japan.	en	Tamadera, Yutaka (2025): New or little-known jewel beetles on mistletoe, Taxillus Tiegh.

203D7D32DF4D1D34FF68FE7D2E071BC1.taxon	discussion	Remarks. Kato & Kawakita (2023 a) described H. taxillusi as a new species but failed to mention the type depository for the holotype. This is therefore a nomen nudum and unavailable name, according to Article 16.4.2 of ICZN (1999). Later, Kato & Kawakita (2023 b) designated the type depository for the holotype, making the name available. This study found mistakes of labeling in the holotype and paratype of H. taxillusi. According to Kato & Kawakita (2023 b), the holotype of this species was designated on the basis of a male individual, and one paratype female individual as follows: “ Holotype: JAPAN: ♂ (MK-BP-k 40), Yakukachi, Amami-shi, Kagoshima Pref., NSMT-I-C- 200348 ”; “ Paratype: JAPAN: ♀ (MK-BP-k 39), same data as holotype, NSMT-I-C- 200349 ”. Additionally, Kato & Kawakita (2023 a), in which the name H. taxillusi was a nomen nudum, shows the data as follows: “ Holotype: JAPAN: ♂ (MK-BP-k 40), Yakukachi, Amami-shi, Kagoshima Pref. (28.228 ° N, 129.347 ° E, 40 m above sea level), 23 - V- 2009 (as larva on Taxillus yadoriki collected by A. Kawakita), emerged on 7 - VI- 2009, NSMT-I-C- 200268 ”; “ Paratype: JAPAN: ♀ (MK-BP-k 39), same data as holotype, emerged on 2 - VI- 2009, N NSMT-I-C- 200269 ”. However, the author confirmed that the actual specimen pinned with a holotype label is a female (NSMT-I-C- 200348) and the specimen pinned with a paratype label is a male (NSMT-I-C- 200349) (see Specimens examined). Moreover, all habitus images of this species in Kato & Kawakita (2023 a: figs. 1 F, 2 F, 3 F) are definitely based on the male specimen, but the figure captions do not state that the specimen illustrated is the holotype. These facts suggest that the type labels and depository serial number labels for the holotype and paratype were reversed. The labels remain as they were originally placed and were not moved as a result of this study. This study also found an error in the original description of H. taxillusi in Kato & Kawakita (2023 a). These authors described the clypeus of this species as follows: “ clypeus transverse, ~ 2.6 × as wide as long, with the anterior margin somewhat arcuately emarginate ”. These character states, however, do not match those of the examined specimens in this study (see Additional description). Habroloma taxillusi has a prominently narrowed clypeus (with round apical margin; Fig. 10 C). This study, thus, concludes that the original description of the clypeus is in error. This is almost certainly a copy and paste from the corresponding part of the description of Habroloma (Parhabroloma) elaeocarpusi, which is also described in Kato & Kawakita (2023 a), because identical wording was used for the clypeus description in both H. taxillusi and H. elaeocarpusi. Examination of the type specimens shows that the clypeus description of Kato & Kawakita (2023 a) applies only to H. elaeocarpusi. The apical comb of the female abdominal ventrite 5 in H. taxillusi (Figs. 9 F, 10 H, I) is not described in Kato & Kawakita (2023 a). This character state was confirmed in all the non-type female specimens in this study, although the author could not examine the abdomen of the female type specimen owing to the missing abdomen.	en	Tamadera, Yutaka (2025): New or little-known jewel beetles on mistletoe, Taxillus Tiegh.
